Design of path generating compliant mechanisms by evolutionary optimization of topology and shape

This work looks into the design and synthesis of such path generating compliant mechanisms by topology and shape design optimization. The optimization is done using a specially formulated evolutionary algorithm together with an efficient geometry representation scheme called the Morphological Repres...

Summary:This work looks into the design and synthesis of such path generating compliant mechanisms by topology and shape design optimization. The optimization is done using a specially formulated evolutionary algorithm together with an efficient geometry representation scheme called the Morphological Representation Scheme.
